Spike simulator is very demanding to CPU resources. This causes debug tests to sporadically fail on slower machines. Increasing of gdb's remotetimeout should get rid of such failures, unless we run the testsuite on a potato.
The only downside is that if OpenOCD is broken, tests can run longer. However, I think this is the sacrifice we can make, since execution time is not affected if everything works as expected.
